The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy inside. One of the best I’ve had in the area. Staff were incredibly kind and attentive. They made us feel very welcome. Food came out quickly and tasted great! Highly recommend!

Great little spot for katsu and curry on a gloomy Friday. Stopped by on a whim cause my GF wanted chicken katsu and happy we did. They have an amazing deal for lunch bentos, with your choice of chicken/pork katsu or shrimp tempura. We tried both the chicken and pork katsu with curry on the side and a kids udon to try out. The udon was full size and delicious. Very delicate broth. Perfect for kids big and small. As for the katsu, I liked the chicken a little more than the pork, but both were great. Paired well with the curry. Katsu sauce was a little on the sweet side for me, but mixed with sriracha, was perfect. The bento comes with a lot of extras too. Cabbage and seaweed salad was my favorite. Takoyaki was ok, but again sauce a little sweet for me (so more sriracha!). Gupta was tasty, but basic and Mac salad was on the lemony side. Service was prompt and very friendly. Checked in on us many times. Loved that they have water at the table for us (KBBQ style) also. Overall score was for value. I think I’ve had better katsu, but for $15, it’s a no brainer. We will also have to come after 4pm for the Izakaya. I have a feeling that’s their specialty.

Such a friendly environment and super tasty food. The meat was so fresh and the steamed egg was so legit. I haven’t had thoughtful food like this for quite a while. So glad we found this place.

We had a wonderful dining experience here. Andy, the owner, provided excellent service and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable, which made the evening even more enjoyable. I met up with friends I hadn’t seen in a long time, and thanks to the great service and relaxed vibe, we had such a great time together. Highly recommend this place, and I will definitely come back again!

The concept is great and reminds me of Gyukatsu Motomura in Tokyo. The staff is great too and super polite. We had to wait 20 minutes even though we had a reservation. I heard an employee letting a walk in know that he'd have to wait 45 minutes to an hour. The Udon was good. I definitelt recommend getting the Gyukastu with Udon.The gyukatsu had a good serving size maybe 0.75 lbs of ribeye beef, but it was lean. I would guess they use USDA Select since parts were tough to eat.The rice was hard, it either needed more water or needed to be cooked longer. I normally love eatinf rice, but this was literally too hard to eat. They seemed to be short staffed on the day we went, so some problems could be attributed to that. I would definitelt give them another try.
